Gold Stock Analyst

Gold Stock Analyst reports on gold stocks of those precious metal miners in production or near production as evidenced by a completed bankable feasibility study.

The Gold Stock Analysts is one of the more expensive gold stock newsletters at 695 dollars for a year’s subscription. For that the subscriber gets:

Monthly Gold Stock Analyst newsletter - typically 16 pages - with their top 10 stock recommendations, in depth analysis, a Mid Month 2-4 page update, immediate online access to all back issues going back to 2004 and a newsletter available as soon as published - as a PDF downloaded from the website

The Editor is John Doody. Although John Doody has no formal “rock” studies apart from "Introductory Geology" at Columbia he does hold a BA in Economics from Columbia and an MBA in Finance from Boston University. Doody has been an economics professor for around 20 years and made a intensive study of the gold price and gold’s relationship to currency.

John Doody also popularized the metric called Market Cap per ounce. Here a company's stock market capitalization (number of shares times stock price) is divided by the ounces produced per year, or its ounces of Proven and Probable Reserves. This was done to solve the dilemma of and determine which gold stocks represent the best value at any given point in time. As a result of this Market Cap metric, Doody's newsletter covers only producers or near-producers that have an independent feasibility study validating that its reserves are economic to produce.

There is a sample newsletter one can download that shows lots of gold stock, gold share and gold mining company details, lists and charts. The information on various companies and gold stock price charts and graphs is very much up to date and Gold stock Analysts specializes in making information as up to date as possible. One does need to be very familiar with gold stocks and gold mining companies, currency issues and the relationships between gold and currency to get the most out of this newsletter. Overall a very professional newsletter with a gold mine (no pun intended) of information. Remarkably the Gold Stock Analyst Top 10 Stocks portfolio has had an average gain of around 30 percent per annum.

The website contains lots of information, advice and video interviews which are available for the casual browser.

Subscription is 295 for three months or 695 dollars for a full year. One can also subscribe for two years for a cost of 1,095 dollars. Payment is by credit card with the emphasis on American Express.

You can order online or print out an application for and mail it to Gold Stock Analyst at Box 7440, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33338, or fax or call your subscription in.

This is probably one of the most detailed and comprehensive gold stock investment newsletters available and is certainly true to its name of Gold Stock Analyst.
